    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Just get the AllPro 1.5" extended greasable shackles they only lift your truck 3/4" and with the settling of your springs it's shouldn't be much higher then you war now.

    Wheelers also has oem length greaseable shackles but they are $$. If you are just running the standard pack I'd just get the allpro ones that are a bit longer. If you're running the expos and don't want anymore lift look at wheelers

    the ones available through wheelers are OME and are suppose to only work with Dakar leafs, but the only thing that needs to be changed on them for them to fit on stock leafs and perhaps allpro leafs is the lower bushings need to be trimmed down a bit to fit in the eye. took me a few minutes per bushing and they fit perfect.

    they are the OME ones,i got the receipt to prove it lol. it just doesnt say it in the write up on their site. i guess its because the greasable shackle kit only comes with the shackles,bolts,nuts and lock washers. wheelers adds in the bushings needed. the bag under the ome box is the bushings they provide.

    Hmmm I wonder if I could replace those bushings with the expo bushings :spy: I think for now I'll stick with stock ucas and the later on I may get the .75" lift shackles from ap if my expos break in accordingly
